Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Nowhere is perfect and there are some VALID criticisms.
Y'all have winter for 7 months out of the year. Don't you lie to out of staters and say there isn't snow in May. The only months I ain't never seen snow in is July and August and I'm pretty sure there are records of snow in July.
And it's not just any winter. I have seen the ass crack of -54F during a polar vortex. On more than one occasion it's been colder than the surface of Mars.
When it finally starts to melt you have a season dedicated entirely to ticks.
I do miss it in the summertime though. I like humidity and thunderstorms. And fireflies when there used to be fireflies.
But FUCK the mosquitoes. I literally had to sleep under mosquito netting. That's what 10,000 lakes gets ya.
Source: lived up north for way too long. Fucked off back to the land of perpetual rain where I belong. Yes, I couldn't hack it. Y'all are tough, I'll give you that.
Don't forget about the passive aggressive Lutherans!
Minnesota is awesome though, shame I had to move away.
At least they won’t subject you to a Catholic wedding :P
Don’t worry, climate change has killed most of the mosquitos and made the winters generally more mild. Heck, a couple winters ago I didn’t even get to break out the shovel!
